Process

This is the discovery stage, we want to learn everything about your vision. Identifying the food you plan to serve, we’ll determine what equipment you need and how the space should be utilized. The more we understand your goals, the more opportunity we have to fulfill them. Here we develop a program of requirements from which all design considerations flow.

The plans begin their transformation from space allocations to work stations focused on efficiency. We take the block plan and determine placement for equipment, fixtures, and furniture. We’re focused on operational details. Getting this right results in better construction documents, lower bids, and fewer change orders. An initial foodservice plan set is prepared for presentation to local authorities for the permitting process.

The details of the design development drawings are finalized and incorporated into the plan. Our deliverables are first-rate and include floorplans, elevations, Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing connection requirements, and 11 40 00 written specifications. These will ultimately become what your contractor references to build your project. The foodservice equipment plan set is coordinated with Architectural Drawings in Revit and/or AutoCAD formats.

The Construction Documents are incorporated into the architects bid documents as contractors are solicited to submit proposals to perform the work for the project. We perform quality assurance reviews of product data submittals to compare proposed alternates and ensure 100% satisfaction of the Contract Documents. This allows us to deliver the best value to the end user.

In the final phase, we review foodservice equipment submittals for compliance with the bid specifications. A punch list is issued to ensure the installation is correct and matches the submittals. We stay connected throughout the construction process and provide onsite solutions to ensure that what is built corresponds with the project objectives and vision.
